About Me

I
am a very motivated but fun-loving individual. I love being involved in campus
activities, and have decided to further immerse myself in the college
experience by pledging a fraternity. Though I am quite social and enjoy having
a good time, my education is prioritized – I do not plan to stray from the
rigorous 3-4 BS/MD program for which I have been selected to be a participant.

Campus and Community Involvement

Currently
my time is entirely utilized; I am pledging Tau Kappa Epsilon, taking a full 18
hours of honors courses, a new member of AMSA, as well as attempting to
maintain some semblance of a social life. Though time is always in short
supply, I enjoy each activity that I participate in to the utmost extent.

Awards and Honors

I
have received many honors throughout my high school career, the most memorable
of which are those associated with my Academic Decathlon team. Though my senior
year was the most lucrative in terms of medals, more importantly each year that
I was able to participate we placed in the top five teams at our regional
competition. Individual awards are always nice, but the camaraderie and success
of our team are what mean most to me.

Study Abroad

Though
I am not taking any foreign language hours right now, schedule permitting, I
plan on becoming fluent in Spanish and utilizing the study abroad stipend from
the Tier One scholarship to visit either Spain or a Spanish-speaking South
American country before graduation.

Research

I am not involved in a research project at the moment but
plan on participating once I become more acclimated to the college environment
and workload.

Future Endeavors

Presently
I am a member of the new 3-4 program at the University of Houston; if all goes
according to plan I will be attending either UTMB or UT Health in the fall of
2016. The medical field has always been of interest to me – I could think of
nothing more rewarding than having the privilege to work in an area that I
enjoy as well as being able to help those around me.
